<p>Hello ladies,</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span> </span>Today I'm excited to announce our newest fundraising campaign: Race for a Reason! We will be joining the OHIO community in the largest charity-based Race Event in Athens to raise funds and awareness for our cause! First we need to pick a
cause that we are passionate about, raise funds, and let Race for a Reason do the dirty work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span> </span>​Because Race for a Reason takes place during MACRA, we are in an unusual situation, fortunately the organizers of Race for a Reason are excited and willing to work with us. Even though we physically won't be here to participate in a race,
our race at MACRA counts as our Race for a Reason. So, we will sign up as race participants like everyone else, but we will be racing at MACRA instead. We will still be able to use the Race for a Reason fundraising platforms to gain funds for our team and
a charity of our choosing. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span> </span>Before we launch our fundraising page, we must pick a charity to donate to. Below I have descriptions of some of the charities we discussed. Please look them over and let me know by Wednesday night after SAS which charity you would like
our team to raise money for. Once we have established our cause, I will let you guys know when our fundraising page goes live and how to begin the fundraising process.<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for bearing with me through this email. Please let
me know of your choice before Wednesday night.</span></p>
<p> <br>
</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
